The hinge connection component 3 is provided with an installation structure for installing the connecting hose 15. The liquid-cooled back door 2 is provided with multiple sets of cooling pipes 23. The multiple sets of cooling pipes 23 are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the liquid-cooled back door 2. The liquid-cooled back door 2 is provided with a liquid inlet diverter 24 and a return collection component 25. The liquid inlet diverter 24 and the return collection component 25 are both connected to the cooling pipes 23. The liquid inlet diverter 24 is connected to the connecting hose 15 on the water inlet structure 13. The return collection component 25 is connected to the connecting hose 15 on the drainage structure 14.

[0025] Specifically, the mounting frame 11 is a rectangular metal frame structure. The mounting frame 11 is installed on one side of the cabinet 1. The mounting frame 11 includes a top crossbeam, a bottom crossbeam, and two vertical beams connected to form a rectangular frame, creating a rectangular doorway for the liquid cooling back door 2. The size of the doorway matches the size of the liquid cooling back door 2. When the liquid cooling back door 2 is installed on the cabinet 1, it can close the doorway. One side of the mounting frame 11 along its height direction forms a mounting side 12, i.e., one of the vertical beams of the mounting frame 11 serves as the mounting... The mounting side 12 is provided with a water inlet structure 13 and a drainage structure 14. The water inlet structure 13 and the drainage structure 14 are respectively located at the upper part and the bottom of the mounting side 12. The water inlet structure 13 includes a water inlet main pipe 131 installed on the mounting frame 11. The cold source system is provided with a liquid supply pipe 16 and a liquid return pipe 17.

The water outlet main pipe 141 is connected to the liquid return pipe 17.

[0026] In this embodiment, the liquid-cooled back door 2 is provided with multiple sets of cooling pipes 23. These cooling pipes 23 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the height direction of the liquid-cooled back door 2. The cooling pipes 23 can be serpentine pipes or straight pipes connected in sequence. The cooling pipes 23 are evenly distributed to increase the contact area with air and enhance heat dissipation. The cooling pipes 23 are made of copper or aluminum alloy. The liquid-cooled back door 2 is rotatably mounted on the mounting side 12 via hinge connecting members 3. That is, the liquid-cooled back door 2 is rotatably connected to the vertical beam of the mounting frame 11 via hinge connecting members 3. There are multiple hinge connecting members 3, which are arranged sequentially at intervals along the height direction of the liquid-cooled back door 2, allowing the liquid-cooled back door 2 to rotate relative to the mounting frame 11. Thus, the liquid-cooled back door 2 can be rotated to open or close. A lock body that can be locked onto the cabinet 1 can also be provided on the liquid-cooled back door 2; this is prior art and will not be described in detail.

[0027] In this embodiment, a connecting hose 15 is connected to the water inlet main pipe 131 of the water inlet structure 13. The number of connecting hoses 15 can be one, two, or more. The liquid inlet diverter 24 is connected to the connecting hose 15 on the water inlet structure 13.

The return collection device 25 is connected to the connecting hose 15 on the drainage structure 14. Thus, the cold source provided by the cold source system can be dispersed and transported to the cooling pipe 23 through the liquid supply pipe 16, the water inlet main pipe 131, the connecting hose 15, and the liquid inlet diverter 24. After heat dissipation treatment, the cold source in the cooling pipe 23 is transported to the return collection device 25, and then sequentially transported to the cold source system through the connecting hose 15, the water outlet main pipe 141, and the return liquid pipe 17. The liquid-cooled back door 2 is a device that uses refrigerant for heat exchange to regulate the temperature of the server rack 1. The types of refrigerants that can be used as refrigerants are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0028] The liquid-cooled back door with a large-angle opening structure provided by this utility model has a mounting frame 11 fixedly installed on one side of the cabinet 1. The mounting side 12 of the mounting frame 11 is provided with a water inlet structure 13 and a drainage structure 14. Both the water inlet structure 13 and the drainage structure 14 are provided with connecting hoses 15. The liquid-cooled back door 2 is rotatably installed on the mounting side 12 through a hinge connecting component 3. The liquid-cooled back door 2 is provided with multiple sets of cooling pipes 23. The liquid-cooled back door 2 is provided with a liquid inlet diverter 24 and a return collection component 25. The liquid inlet diverter 24 and the return collection component 25 are both connected to the cooling pipes 23. The liquid inlet diverter 24 is connected to the connecting hose 15 on the water inlet structure 13, and the return collection component 25 is connected to the connecting hose 15 on the drainage structure 14. By connecting the hose 15, hinge connecting component 3, and liquid-cooled back door 2, the liquid-cooled back door 2 can be opened at a large angle, fully exposing the internal space of the cabinet 1 without disassembly. This facilitates maintenance personnel to inspect, replace, or rewire the equipment inside the cabinet 1, greatly improving maintenance efficiency.

[0029] In this embodiment, preferably, the liquid inlet diversion component 24 includes a liquid inlet diversion pipe, which is connected to the connecting hose 15 on the water inlet structure 13. Thus, after the cold source is transported to the liquid inlet diversion pipe through the water inlet structure 13 and the connecting hose 15, it is dispersed and transported into the cooling pipe 23 through the liquid inlet diversion pipe. The return collection component 25 includes a return water collection pipe. Both the liquid inlet diversion pipe and the return water collection pipe are arranged along the height direction of the liquid cooling back door 2. The return collection component 25 is connected to the connecting hose 15 on the drainage structure 14. Thus, after the cold source in the cooling pipe 23 undergoes heat exchange, it flows back to the return water collection pipe and is then transported to the cold source system through the connecting hose 15, the water outlet main pipe 141, and the return liquid pipe 17.

[0030] In this embodiment, preferably, the liquid-cooled back door 2 is divided into an upper liquid-cooled zone 21 and a lower liquid-cooled zone 22 along the height direction. Both the upper liquid-cooled zone 21 and the lower liquid-cooled zone 22 include multiple sets of cooling pipes 23. The water inlet end of the cooling pipe 23 in the upper liquid-cooled zone 21 is connected to the liquid inlet branch pipe, and the water outlet end of the cooling pipe 23 in the upper liquid-cooled zone 21 is connected to the flow guide pipe 26. The water inlet end of the cooling pipe 23 in the lower liquid-cooled zone 22 is connected to the flow guide pipe 26, and the water outlet end of the cooling pipe 23 in the lower liquid-cooled zone 22 is connected to the return water collection pipe.

[0031] In this way, during use, the cold source in the cold source system is transported from the liquid supply pipe 16, the water inlet main pipe 131, and the connecting hose 15 to the liquid inlet branch pipe. It is then distributed to the cooling pipes 23 of the upper liquid cooling zone 21 through the liquid inlet branch pipe. After heat exchange, the cold source in the cooling pipes 23 of the upper liquid cooling zone 21 is transported to the cooling pipes 23 of the lower liquid cooling zone 22 through the guide connecting pipe 26. After heat exchange, the cold source in the cooling pipes 23 of the lower liquid cooling zone 22 is transported to the return water collection pipe, and then sequentially transported to the cold source system through the connecting hose 15, the water outlet main pipe 141, and the return liquid pipe 17, thus forming a cold source circulation system.

[0032] In this embodiment, preferably, the hinge connection component 3 includes a first hinge seat 31, a second hinge seat 32, and a rotating connector 33. The first hinge seat 31 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 11, and the second hinge seat 32 is fixedly connected to the liquid-cooled back door 2. The second hinge seat 32 is connected to the first hinge seat 31 through the rotating connector 33. The mounting structure includes a buckle 34 provided on the first hinge seat 31, the second hinge seat 32, and the rotating connector 33. The buckle 34 is provided with a slot 35 for the connecting hose 15 to be inserted.

[0033] The first hinge seat 31, the second hinge seat 32, and the rotating connector 33 are all made of high-strength steel to support the weight of the liquid-cooled back door 2. Both the first hinge seat 31 and the second hinge seat 32 have mounting holes for screw installation. Corresponding holes are also pre-set on the mounting frame 11 and the liquid-cooled back door 2. Thus, during use, the first hinge seat 31 can be fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 11 with screws, and the second hinge seat 32 can be fixedly mounted on the liquid-cooled back door 2 with screws, forming a first rotating mounting on the first hinge seat 31. The second hinge seat 32 forms a second rotating mounting foot. The rotating connector 33 includes a rotating connecting piece. One end of the rotating connecting piece is connected to the second hinge seat 32 through a connecting shaft. The other end of the rotating connector 33 can be fixedly mounted on the first hinge seat 31 or can be adjustablely connected to the second hinge seat 32. Thus, the hinged connection component formed by the first hinge seat 31, the second hinge seat 32 and the rotating connector 33 allows the liquid-cooled back door 2 to rotate relative to the mounting frame 11, thereby allowing the liquid-cooled back door 2 to open or close.

[0034] A latching element 34 is integrally provided on the first hinge seat 31, the second hinge seat 32, and the rotating connector 33. The latching element 34 has a U-shaped structure, thus forming a latching groove 35. The opening direction of the latching groove 35 is set as needed, but the direction of the latching groove 35 on the first hinge seat 31, the second hinge seat 32, and the rotating connector 33 is the same, which facilitates the installation of the connecting hose 15. For example, the latching groove 35 on the first hinge seat 31, the second hinge seat 32, and the rotating connector 33 are all set to the upward side, or the latching groove 35 on the first hinge seat 31, the second hinge seat 32, and the rotating connector 33 are all set to the side away from the liquid cooling back door 2.

[0035] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
